ON A TOP WAVE.

The Northern Republican journals
can rant and snarl, but they can't
stop Northern capital from flowing
southwark, nor stay the progress Of
the South. Northern capitalists
have ceased to look to rabid Repub-
lican papers for the truth about the
South. They come in person, get
acquainted with our people, exam
Inc our mineral and agricultural
lands and invest their money in the
same with confidence. Eight or ten
per cent with increase in values
besides, beats B and per cent in
the Northern States, consequently
capitalists are going to put their
money where it pays them best. So
Republican organs can buster and
blow anu abuse the South and South
ern people, but it does no good.
Every dog has his day. . The. South
IS on top Of a wave of prosperity, and
the tide is swelling and increasing in
volume each year. This beautiful
Southland is the garden spot Of the
world, and the people are finding it
out and showing their love and APP
probation Of it by. coming here to
live. The extremely cold winters in
the North and Northwest are driving
the inhabitants to our mild and sa-
lubrious climate, where health is
restored and life prolonged. These
are Gods blessings and the hate of
political foes cannot change or modi-
fy or take them from us

Fredericksburg, Va, has big
pickle factory that is supplied with
cucumbers from the land adjoining
the city This season the supply has
reached 100000 cucumbers, those
engaged in their production furnish
ing from 100000 to 100000 each.
An acre will produce 100000 and
they sell in Fredericksburg at soc
per 1000. The object is to get them
an inch or an inch and halt long,
and this requires active picking be-
fore they increase this size. A boz
will pick 5000 in a day. Picking
them thus early increases the pro-
ductiveness of the vine, and, while
the season lasts, others are appear
ing in place of those taken from the
vines.

DEATH OF MRS. EARLE.

-DlED at her late residence in this city
on the 4th inst, at > clock p. m, Mrs
Eliza W. Earle. Mrs. Earle came original
~ from Greenville, S. c. She moved from
Barlow county, Ga, to Marietta in the year
1854, where she has resided up to the time
Of her death. During this period of thirty
three years she has been consistent mem.
Der Of the Presbyterian church of Marietta.
She taught school from the year 1854 until
March 10th last, at which date she had an
apoplectic attack, Al the time of her death
she was in her Goth year Her life was EN-
lnently useful and unselish She worried
more about the welfare of others than about
her own welfare. The large number to
whom she impaired intellectual and moral
instruction, and who NOW lead useful and
christian lives, rise up and call her blessed
The good she has done is lost to sight in the
results accomplished Her death was not
attended with that pain and struggle which
IS usual when soul and body separate Her
death was like the sleep of one who after
hard day work, Wraps the mantle Of her
couch about her and lies down to pleasant
dreams About her we can well say
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which no mortal wakes to weep
We can both hope and believe that as the
sun that illumines This earth was setting in
the west last Sunday to her weary eyes, Il
brighter sun rose to her vision in the eternal
world beyond. The funeral services we're
held Monday afternoon by DR. Buttolph at
the Presbyterian church. The departed
leaves three sons and numerous relations
and friends to mourn her loss To the be-
reaved we tender our sympathy.

Four weeks ago Farmer c. S. Van
horne, OF Mill Point, n u, went
home from the wheat field with a sore
throat. The soreness increased, the
throat swclled, and nothing gave re-
lief Then the soreness disappeared
from the inside, aud the swelling APP
peared on the outside of the throat,
and finally a few days ago the cause
OF all this discomfort was apparent
when the swelling broke and from it
came wheat beard an inch long.
Van Horne had taken it into his
mouth, it had lodged in his throat,
and then worked its way through.
